Also, I would think fried eggs, at least if they have a soft yolk, are likely to last even less time than scrambled eggs, which cook the yolk more thoroughly.
Almost no open meat or meat related product lasts in the fridge for 2 weeks, the criteria isn’t “is it fuzzy yet” but can it have microbial growth that’s harmful.
Because people are overly afraid of food spoiling. You’ll also be surprised that milk can usually stay good for a couple weeks after the best by date and that fresh eggs last for months in the fridge.
Now, the longer things sit in the fridge the worse the texture usually gets. Rice may be fine to eat 2 weeks later but I’d rather just toss it. It’s going to be hard from drying out in the fridge and trying to fix that means you get either mushy rice or rice that just breaks apart.
I’m a poor person, I know a lot about how food lasts beyond expiry dates.
There’s being overly afraid of going past best-by date, and there’s being stupid by eating 2 weeks old leftovers from the fridge.
After 5 days I wouldn’t eat anything opened or already cooked from the fridge that isn’t naturally preserved (like cheese or sour cream). Things go bad in the fridge too.
I’ve not tried 2 weeks old rice, and I don’t want to. You want to keep something edible more than a few days, that’s what the freezer is for.
A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.
Cooked eggs are good for a week in the fridge.
My searching is saying 3-4 days for scrambled eggs, a week for hard boiled eggs.
Oh yeah, that sounds safer

Fried eggs last 2 weeks in the fridge easy. Maybe turn your fridge temp down? Or just try it; you might be surprised how long you survive.

Could it? Sure, but will it? Probably not. If in doubt I guess you could always do a quick plate count to get an idea of what’s going on in there.
You roll the dice enough times and win food poisoning eventually.
